If pain in the knee is limiting your daily life and you find it hard to walk, to climb stairs or to get up from a chair, then it is likely that there is advanced wear of the joint.
When conservative treatments no longer have an effect, conventional total knee arthroplasty is the most reliable and effective solution. The operation replaces the damaged joint with specialised implants, with the aim of significantly reducing pain, improving movement and restoring function.
Dr Alexandros Tzaveas approaches every patient with an individualised treatment plan, paying particular attention to the precision of the surgical technique and to proper rehabilitation.
What problem does knee arthroplasty address
Wear of the articular cartilage leads to the bones rubbing against one another, causing severe pain, stiffness and restricted movement. Swelling, instability and deformity of the knee often appear, while everyday activities become steadily more difficult.
Knee arthroplasty replaces the worn surfaces and restores the stability and the function of the joint.
When the operation is indicated
The operation is recommended when the pain is constant and affects quality of life, when the investigations show significant arthritis, and when treatments such as medication, physiotherapy or injections no longer provide relief.
The decision is taken with care and is based on the patient's real needs.
How the operation is performed
The procedure involves a full preoperative assessment, anaesthesia, removal of the worn surfaces of the knee and placement of the implants. Immediate mobilisation and a rehabilitation programme follow.
Recovery and rehabilitation
Walking begins early, with support where it is needed. Basic function is restored in the first few weeks, while improvement continues gradually over the months that follow.
Why choose Dr Alexandros Tzaveas
The success of a knee arthroplasty depends on experience and on sound technique. Dr Tzaveas has experience in arthroplasty and applies modern methods aimed at a safe and long-lasting result.
